List all components attached to an entity.
AI agents call get_entity_components to retrieve information from O3de without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns information about an entity's components without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_entity_components' and description 'List all components attached to an entity' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_entity_components gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and O3de, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_entity_components:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_entity_components": {}
}
}get_entity_components is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
List all components attached to an entity. It is categorised as a Read tool in the O3de MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the O3de MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_entity_components: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches O3de. Nothing to install.
get_entity_components is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_entity_components rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_entity_components. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_entity_components is provided by the O3de MCP server (nickschuetz/o3de-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from O3de, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
